It ain't over till it's over

Warning: Spoilers
This is the movie by Serdar Akar in which Erkan Can plays magnificently again. The movie starts with an extraordinary introduction by the captain under the stimulus of hunger due to smoking too much pot. So every sailor in the boat does not feel comfortable and does not know where the destiny will lead them just a few hours later. What a magnificent introduction that carries you in a significant story! The dialogs between actors in the movie is smartly chosen so that if there is someone like the boxer, he most probably would speak in that way, nothing more nothing less. The black humor is really very affective and wonderfully portrayed by the actors. What is sad but true is that, this movie deserves more than it has gained, however this is how the things go in the movie industry (you have got to be popular instead of being original). To say more about Erkan Can, this is not only the film he acts brilliant. On the other hand, we can say that, this is the foundation of his brilliance act throughout his career (Takva, Dar Alanda Kisa Paslasmalar, Lalelide Bir Azize and Kader) It is the movie which people question their common sense and which people try to face up to the lies. There are a lot of things to say about this movie. You should see it.

In the end, it ain't over till it's over
